Laurent Dauphin has been recalled to the Arizona Coyotes from the Tucson Roadrunners.

In his only appearance with Tucson, Dauphin scored a goal and recorded an assist.

He has 34 appearances with the Coyotes over parts of three seasons including 24 games in 2016 when he scored two goals and an assist for 3 points. He averaged 10:47 minutes of ice time during his NHL appearances .

The Coyotes (0-2-0) have still not scored a goal yet this season and hope that the 23-year-old center can provide a spark for the offense.

Center was a position that the Coyotes were hit hard by with injuries before the season. Newcomer Alex Galchenyuk and Christian Dvorak started the season on injured reserve.

Dauphin was listed as day-to-day for a knee injury and moved to Tucson at the beginning of the season for conditioning purposes.

There was no corresponding move since Dauphin was technically already on the NHL roster.

what a racial article. They are not black head coaches they are human beings. If they got the job because they are black that is wrong they should get the job because the schools felt they were the best candidate for the job. The color of your skin has no meaning it doesn't make you good or bad or anything it makes you human. so sad that some one has enough racism in them that they have to count the number of black coaches as it compares to the number of total head coaches. flat out wrong. There are not 13 black head coaches out of 125 head coaching jobs there are 125 qualified people coaching in 125 programs.
